A friend on here, Lizzie told me about the importance of juicing. So I am always willing to try things and my Hamilton Beach blender wasn't going to work for juicing. Not enough power! The Vita-Mix works wonders. I ordered from Chef's magzine, so I have a life-time guarantee for it. I love coming up with new juice combo's! It comes with a wonderful cookbook! I absolutley love it & its built well and I'm sure will last a long time. I checked out many juicers and have asked many people's opinion! This is a number 1 product and I give it 5 STARS!

Cons

Its expensive! Even though its worth it and I'll never need to buy another one probably in my lifetime, It runs $500.00 - $600.00 depending on the series. I have the professioinal series, got it on sale for $500.00, along with the cookbook and the container is large, holding 64 ounces which is extra large. You can freeze it! I can't say enough good things about it. There are many other juicers out there that are also good but after reading Consumer Reports and opinions I chose the Vita-Mix!!!
